51 The Origins of White Rose Academy (1/2)
After spending the night thinking of ways to suppress the armour ability but coming up with no solutions Kai was frustrated. When the sun had started to rise Bob who was outside jumped into the room from the window and didn't say anything. He just ignored Kai and curled up on the bed resembling a true cat.
But Kai couldn't be bothered with him as he had more pressing issues to worry about than Bob like his newfound mental state or the fact that he had used up his animagus ability.
After learning that he had blown his ability to transform into an animal of his choosing, he was angry and annoyed at the fact that the [Berserk] Ability (I'm calling the armour ability Berserk because he gains a massive increase in strength and in exchange he has to confront all the character traits he had absorbed from the many beasts he had killed) had caused him to lose his chance. Especially after he had chosen a certain animal -the Belcher's sea snake.
The snake was one of the more unknown snakes but it was extremely poisonous and a normal man would require immediate treatment in order to survive without any after effects. The only reason the venom didn't kill was that of the tiny amount that would be injected into a person's body. But now it was no longer possible.
But there were some positive sides to the owl transformation, he had discovered that he could make a partial transformation and gain the wings of the owl if he wanted to, instead of transforming into a giant owl.
But that still wasn't enough for Kai, however, there was a redeeming quality to his new ability, that he could fly at speeds equivalent to his normal top speeds if not faster and the drain on his energy was his near endless stamina and not his limited blood energy.
He also found out that if he infused his blood energy into the wings then they could turn a deep red and then become extremely hard even defending against his full-blown punches with no problem.
The second feature that he had discovered was that he could shoot out the hardened feathers from his wings and create a rain of bladed feathers that could theoretically cause great pain and death to his non-corporeal enemies like spectres and the such.
He now had two kinds of attacks that could harm the incorporeal his feathers and his [soul aura.] He thought of that maybe the original vampire progenitor of the HP vampires ran into an issue like his regarding his loss of control, so perhaps he would be able to find a clue in the library.
Kai thought it would be worth a shot and decided to skip class in order to find more information concerning his ”problem” as well as to avoid the large fan and hater base. He arrived at the library and instead of the student that greeted him yesterday a middle-aged man was sitting at the desk.
Kai walked up to him and asked him politely ”Do you know where the Books about the origins of the academy are at?” The librarian was surprised that Kai asked him about a subject like that and smiled. ”Well, they are in aisle 23 row 3.”
But before Kai could thank the man he continued ”But they aren't real and are instead all rumours and legends and considering that you and I are of the same kind I will give you the closest versions to the truth.” The man flashed his fangs to Kai and continued
” The story starts with the first of our kind have you heard his story?”. ”No should I have?” ”Well, of course, you should, as a vampire how can you not know about our ancestor. At the same time it is also the origins of the academy, so you will also learn about the origin of the academy at the same time.
Now there are countless theories on how the academy was first built, however, there are only two which are the closest to the truth. The first is the tale of a young farm boy and the other is about the Count Dracula.
I will begin with the first, the farm boy. A few centuries ago during the middle ages, there was a young farm boy who lived happily on a farm and learnt the craft from his father. He took over the farm from his father in his early twenties, and while he was delivering his cargo to the nearby village he met a young woman.
Although she wasn't pretty, something about her drew the young farmer to her. He was immediately smitten and tried to woo her. In the beginning, she rejected him but after a few weeks of unsuccessful wooing by the farmer, she was impressed with his continuous attempts and agreed to date him.
Eventually, they got married and she joined him on the farm. After trying to get pregnant but to no avail the married couple decided to help orphaned children that had no other place to go and hosted them until they felt better. Due to there being a war going on in the country at that time countless families were destroyed, and many children were orphaned.
This continued until the couple's early thirties were the wife was caught a large scale disease spread by the opposing kingdom using dead bodies. She became sick and due to her weaker immunity and eventually passed away.
The farmer was distraught and full of pain and despair over the death of his wife's death. He grieved for weeks and appeared to do all of his actions in a robotic way.
By chance when the farmer was delivering his merchandise in the village, he heard a rumour about a magical book that allowed the user to communicate with the dead and resurrect them.
The farmer was instantly overcome with joy over the fact that there was such an artefact in existence and although it was just a rumour there was a slim chance to resurrect his beloved wife.
However, he had heard that it was kept in the king's treasury and the only way to have a chance to gain the book was to either trade with the king or to steal it. The farmer had a strong constitution but had no skills and the ability to steal the book so he had to earn enough money to buy the book.
The farmer was an intelligent man and spent four years building his business that was developed into the leading company by creating a unique type of manure produced solely on his farm that allowed crops to grow faster.
